About this deal
Chimineas are front-loading, freestanding fireplaces with a round bottom and a vertical chimney. Typically they're made of clay, cast iron or steel and come in a variety of sizes – opt for a model that you can cook on, too.
If you’re looking for the look and feel of a traditional fire pit that you can enjoy on a tabletop, we recommend the Solo Stove Mesa Smokeless model. The unit is compact, measuring 5.1 inches in diameter and 6.8 inches tall, as well as lightweight, weighing only 1.24 pounds. It comes with a stand and a carrying bag, making it easy to tote around and use in different settings. We also appreciate that it includes a pellet adapter, so you can choose between using regular kindling or pellets to start the fire. This low in height, the square concrete firepit is beautifully made and is the perfect companion to a garden sofa set which will add to the intimate feeling for a family night in or friends are gathered. Ideal if you like to go camping or you don’t want the fire pit to be a permanent fixture in your garden. Portable fire pits should be lightweight, and preferably have wheels and/or a carry case to make it easy to manoeuvre and store.

A fire pit is an essential piece of kit for anyone who would like to utilise their outdoor space more for entertaining family and friends whilst allowing you to still enjoy the outdoors when the temperature drops. At Hayes Garden World we have a large selection of fire pits from wood fuelled to gas fire pits, whatever you are looking for, we have an option to suit you.
Built to sit directly on an existing surface, a tabletop fire pit is great if you're looking for something small and portable. We were able to assemble the unit in around 10 minutes. Although there were no instructions, each part was clearly labeled, and we only had to place the various included parts, such as the grill grate and screen, into the main unit. Although this unit is not noted as being a smokeless fire pit, it produced less smoke than we expected. We also found it easy to clean, as we only needed to lift the unit to expel the ashes from the pit. Note that while this fire pit has a large bowl, we do recommend making sure it's not overloaded with wood, to keep the smoke, embers, and sparks under control. According to Larry Campbell, a member of The Spruce Home Improvement Review Board, when considering where to place your fire pit, you need to keep in mind “safety is always first,” and “you need to be sure the area you plan to use the fire pit is a fireproof-type surface. If you choose wood, a dirt area surrounded by paver stones works well to be safe.”
A BBQ fire pit is a great multifunctional tool, in that you can use it for flame-grill cooking as well as warmth (perfect if you're short on space). It makes an interesting centrepiece for any garden event, and if you opt for a larger than average pit, it can accommodate food for big parties.
